U.S. PRESIDENCY KEEN STRUGGLE LIKELY By Cable.-—Press Association.—Copyright WASHINGTON, Thursday. The first, evidence that the usual practice in American politics of letting the strongest contenders for Presidential honours negate each other, is seen in the announcement that Mr. J. A.

Hi;s friends have made the interesting announcement that he is in the contest “to the finish.” Strong intimations have been given that Mr. Reed, who is the first important figure to contest Mr. Alfred Smith’s, prominent position in the Democrat Party; wtll make it a “knockdown and "drag-out” fight. Mr. Reel will!, begin.. a. .speaking campaign throughout the- United States on February 12. Observers are! already beginning to see the- strong possibilities that the Democrats- will be compelled to select a candidate' by Way of compromise, since the most .. prominent aspirants seem likely to stalemate each other. — A. and'N.Z.
